How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A provocative and increasingly unmoored descent into transgression, where romantic idealism curdles into psychological dissolution. Linklater's distinctive formal control gradually fractures as the narrative spirals into erotic and emotional extremity.
